The fourth track of the Rainbow's End album by Hollow water
lyrics
Gathering Sunbeams for the Future
By Alan Cookson, Hollow Water 2015
We’re gathering sunbeams for the future,
Energy for your computer,
All of the gadgets you favour,
Tablet, hoover and your shaver.
We’re saving the planet for your children,
Green power for your new kitchen,
Appliances you may find useful,
Necessary or even crucial.
We’re bagging scintillations for tomorrow,
Juice for your eco-friendly homes,
Gizmos you like and use often,
That end up in the drawer or the loft,
We’re cutting the size of your bills,
So long as you don’t mind the hills,
Covered in countless windmill blades,
For decades and decades and decades.
The cost of electric is shocking,
That’s why the people are flocking,
To put panels on their roofs,
It’s a simple obvious truth.
The initial outlay’s not expensive,
If we give you the incentive,
Reduce your carbon footprint,
Just ignore that contract misprint.
The time is approaching one day,
When all of this will go away,
Just need some new technology,
Which will do away with it all,
Just waiting for clever inventions,
Full of essential innovations,
To make them all obsolete,
And be much more neat & discrete.

Surprisingly good. As may be expected from 2 members of a Pink Floyd tribute band, "Rain" invites comparisons to PF's concept albums and Roger Waters' solo work. Recommended listening for anybody who was disappointed by Endless River! SantaR

Absolutely hooked on this album from first listen. How rare is that with prog!??? Excellent songwriting and musicianship. Can’t wait to dive into the rest of the collection. Thomas Lock

The third Sanctuary album is also the best of the trilogy. This one dares even more to expand the Oldfieldian style in new and exciting directions. It may be sacrilege to suggest it, but if this *were* a genuine Oldfield album, many might say it was one of his best, too. It's true that Rob Reed is standing on the shoulders of a giant, but he is a giant talent in his own right.
Often the music brings tears to the eyes, as if it were the soundtrack to the climax of a hard-won cinematic story. nickgreen90125
Throwing mathcore, emo, and ambient into the mix, Estonia's Kaschalot push progressive rock's multitasking approach to its limits. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 10, 2021
Heavy alt-rock riffage with elements of industrial and tech-metal and a cinematic scope from New Jersey trio Return to Earth. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 22, 2022

When you like your prog to be more beautiful and/or accessible than prog-proggy, than this is for you! Melodic as hell and yes, Peter Falconer is quite a singer! That wouldn't go half the way without the solid songs of Pat Sanders. A great combination of skills ;-) Carsten Pieper
